World on a Hanger to Stitchex

World on a Hanger

World on a Hanger was founded in 2011 by three entrepreneurs with the goal of revolutionizing the fashion industry, having seen first-hand the struggle that many small fashion brands face in the day to day running of their businesses. Industry giants use powerful systems to get their products out quickly but small and medium brands did not have similar access to tools and technology. They wanted to democratize fashion and give that power and speed to smaller companies. Their users varied from a fashion graduate making her first collection to medium-sized companies with manufacturing and warehouses in many countries. Fashion colleges often leave students ill-prepared to run their business. That’s where World on a Hanger came in. What was so revolutionary about it? Connecting fashion brands, suppliers and buyers online sped up everything that happens between designing a collection and shipping it to a retailer. Sales agents could connect with the fashion brand online. Suppliers received up-to-date order quantities at the click of a button.
